The Jim Thorpe boys' basketball team had not been playing to its potential as of late.

After losing games to North Schuylkill and Northern Lehigh this past weekend, the Olympians finally got back on track Monday night.

Forwards Rashid Epps and Corey Cinciola combined to score 47 points and helped lead Jim Thorpe to a 79-61 victory over non-league foe Lehighton. Although they were sloppy at times, the Olympians (8-3, 3-1) scored at least 20 points in three of four quarters and went on to win big thanks to a lopsided second quarter.

Colonial League wrestling powerhouse Saucon Valley invaded the second annual Anthracite Duals, a wrestling tournament held at Panther Valley High School on Saturday, and easily unseated defending champion Lehighton.

The Panthers met the Indians in the championship final of the tourney that involved 10 teams.

Saucon won 11 of the 14 bouts seven of them by pins and one by a forfeit to beat the Indians by a 58-18 margin.

Wednesday night was all about Stroudsburg's Matt Transue and his wrestling teammates.

The Mounties went into Lehighton and handled their business in Mountain Valley Conference play, as they won by a score of 50-21. Transue picked up his 100th victory in the process and helped Stroudsburg improve to 3-0 on the young season.

"I thought we did really well tonight," said Stroudsburg head coach Matt Kleinle. "Every single one of our kids went out and wrestled tough. We worked really hard this week and I think it showed out there on the mat tonight."
